@spambucket: "I saw the new HULK film this evening. I hope I'm not giving away too 
much of the plot to say that there's a building which gets trashed. I 
saw at least a couple of G4s with their distinctive keyboards, I think 
there was a white iBook in there, a CRT iMac, and a very nice cinema 
display.
And then it hit me: I actually cared more about the set than about any 
of the characters. What an utterly awful movie. Even Ang Lee couldn't 
scrape a redeeming feature out of the rotten shell of a screenplay. 
(Maybe the experience of seeing it will make Terminator 3 seem good...)

Yup, I noticed those.
I disagree strongly with this.  Nick Nolte's performance was bad, 
although he's a good actor so yes I blame the script.  However the film 
was just so utterly stylish and well-made that I couldn't believe I was 
watching a blockbuster summer movie.  The use of wipes and split screens 
really worked for me, as did the scientific angle of the opening titles 
and the visualisation of what was going on in Bruce's body using the 
metaphor of viruses under the microscope.
No, I've a feeling that's going to be bad.

Well, crap.  Now I can't go see it...you ruined it for me!  <grumble>
the one movie that I *was* going to see this summer too...such great
word of mouth.  Now I have to go see that horrid Matrix film, sigh.

The matrix reheated, sorry, reloaded?
The hulk can't be *that* bad!

I've seen the trailer. That's just about all the good bits. I'm saving my
money (and a whole load of boredom, I suspect).

When they showed her naked in the trailer - that was when I knew the 
film was going to be crap.

Really?
Nothing as good as that in the trailer on the Apple site. But they do have
John Connor standing in font of a ragged American flag. I guess these days
that's compulsory, though.
It looks absolutely bloody terrible. Pity, because T2 was pretty good.

Yes, I think they are heading back to the idea the if you make a film
without an american flag in it somewhere then you are probably a communist,
or a terrorist, or both.

Well I may be being too harsh on the film... She appears just like Arnie 
did at the beginning of the first film, naked from the rear.  It's 
actually a reasonable thing for the makers to do, but I sensed something.
I'm inclined to go and see it anyway, just to be sure.

Having the good fortune to see T3 last week I'd argue it's actually
very good! - Perhaps T2 (which I'm watching at this very moment) is
better but T3 fits into the canon very well, deals with the paradox as
well as Hollywood can (!), and isn't flag-waving - particularly in the
last (really quite unexpected scene).
